Good luck, I am just starting to run and want to start with baby steps and do a 5K. Hopefully I will get to the 10K goal soon!

Good luck with the 10K Miss Margarita I aimed for under an hour in my first 10K but ended up coming in at 54:42 Every one since that has been over 55 minutes though, because I didn't train enough for them. |

Go get 'em, MM. Think of yourself as a Tinkerbell and let your wings carry you.  |

 I'm seriously thinking about signing up for an all downhill 10k in Atlanta. I ran it in the late 90s and it's a great ego boost to run that far, that fast. The course goes from one MARTA station to another, so it really is all downhill! |

An all downhill 10K would render my legs permanently useless, but then again, I live in a flat state. I did a 10K Saturday with a drawbridge (it was in the first three miles of the race, and we had to run it twice). Ouchie. I still did the race three minutes faster than I expected, but I was not very useful on Sunday.  |

So what if you weren't useful on Sunday. You deserved an on-the-couch day.
This is loosely quoted: Not everyone is stable mentally and on the right track with everything going right for them. The ones who take it all in, mush things around, and are unstable are far more interesting. The statement was made by someone contrasting the closed off personality of Mark Armstrong (first moon walker) to Buzz Aldren who wrote five books. Or Merriweather Lewis contrasted to the stable Clark. This person said Lewis went past his frontier of ever returning to whoever he was when he started.
Moral of the story is we're okay.

Anyone you know at the Boston Marathon? A team goes from our town every year. One of the guys goes to my church. Several years ago, some one in their group got a BM jacket which each of them got to wear for one or two weeks.
We have a couple of Ultra Marathoners (100 miles) in town. One is in his 70s. They even go international. I took their Prepare to Marathon seminar one year and decided it was too difficult for me.

That's an hour north of me, but we'll be in DC doing a MS charity 5k fun run/18-mile bike ride. I'm doing the 5k (my first!) and BF is doing the bike ride. Though, if anyone is interested, I'm doing the Color Run in Philly on July 8! thecolorrun.com/I really can't get into running, so hopefully these little fun runs will get me more into it! |

Hope your fun run goes well!!!!! |
